After Action Report

The Knicks handled the Lakers 113-101. Knicks torched the Lakers on the offensive end. The Knicks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
